. . . MR.WEBB comes along Main Street, where he meets CONSTABLE WARREN. Their movements and voices are increasingly lively in the sharp air.
MR.WEBB:
Good morning, Bill.
CONSTABLE WARREN:
Good morning, Mr. Webb. You're up early.
MR.WEBB:
Yes, just been back to my old college in New York State. Been any trouble here?
CONSTABLE WARREN:
Well, I was called up this mornin' to rescue a Polish fella - darn near froze to death he was.
. . .
(Thornton Wilder, Our Town, Act III)
I don't really understand this sentence. What does back and to mean there? Does he say he is just coming back from his college or does he say he has paid
a visit to his college again? What is the meaning of just there?
